Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

This isn't the makeup bag I keep in my purse or backpack. Since I'm trying to figure out exactly how I want my makeup organized, I put the products I use pretty much every day in this one so I can just grab it and not have to dig in different drawers for the daily products.

Neutrogena Shine Control Primer

Benefit Fake Up Concealer

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil Free Makeup

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Tarte Blush in Magic (sometimes I pull out a different blush from my drawer)

NARS Laguna Bronzer

Revlon Brow Fantasy pencil and gel. I usually use a clear gel to tame my brows, but I decided to give a pencil a try.

Once school starts back, some things may be added so I can grab them for a basic look.

Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

How do you use the elixer? I find it pricey but the smaller size is affordable. I was thinking of using it as an after cleanser but before moisturizer spray.. when I need a little more moisture in the winter.

Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

You can use it as a toner, after foundation to help set it, a boost of hydration after cleansing, or my favorite, just to re-hydrate throughout the day! I like traveling with the smaller one, especially on plane rides... or when I'm sitting in the office all day & need to refresh my face If you're familiar with Fix+, its pretty similar, but I prefer the Caudalie Elixir any day!

Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

If you want to use the elixir as a toner, just a couple spritz after cleansing, then put on your serum/moisturizer. Personally I use it throughout the day to perk up because I also like the scent. It is expensive but it is offered sometimes in a kit (cheaper).

For a little more moisture in the winter, I actually switch to a more hydrating toner or heavier moisturizer or use oil.

Color me stupid, but you actually carry all that stuff with you every day? Why? What am I missing? I carry my lipstick, Burt's Bees, and a mirror compact. When I need to blot my face, I use a papertowel from the dispense in the restroom. I keep hairspray in my desk.

Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

With my 2 girls summer activities, I'm always on the go! I keep the mornings busy & run to work right after (& am on until 10 most nights) I love my sleep, so I'll do my makeup while I'm in the car waiting for them to get out. We also like to hit the pool often, so I need to touch up sometimes. The only things that really live in my purse are the blotting sheets, the lipsticks (yes, ALL, I like options), Fix+, lotion & concealer. Excessive a little bit... I'll admit it

Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

i have a small bag of mini size products i keep with me at all times. It has everything from an eyelash curler to foundation to blush to mini makeup brushes to dry shampoo, hair spray and a hair brush! The bag is only 6" x 4" x 2" so i'm actually pretty impressed with myself for the number of products I can fit in it lol

Re: Whats in your makeup bag?

Well, I woke up late and had 15 minutes to get ready and run to the bus to work so I have a very strange assortment with me today.... how could I forget ALL my lip products?? Usually I'm guilty of having 4-5 tubes of gloss with me at all times.
